@adshubert @jojos444 @AdamParkhomenko @RepBeatty The heart says one thing, the mind says another. The daily assault on democracy and the rule of law triggers the heart. The mind steps back and sees the process. Then the heart seizes up in panic that time is running out. The mind says breathe.

This is really stupid, and it’s not getting enough attention.

The Trump administration is pulling a working $368 million ocean monitoring system out of the water, equipment taxpayers already bought, built, and sank into the deep ocean.

And they are doing it right when the oceans are behaving in ways that alarm the scientists who study them.

Record-breaking temperatures.

A system of Atlantic currents that may be lurching toward collapse.

The response?

Yank out the instruments and walk away.

That is not budgeting. That is smashing the gauges while the engine is on fire and calling it efficiency.

For what? The Trump administration dressed it up as a “nimbler approach” and “smart lifecycle management,” which is fancy nonsense for “we shut it off and hoped nobody would ask why.” There is no return-on-investment analysis. They cannot show taxpayers save a dime, because the gear is already paid for and the science it produces protects real money and real lives.

The kicker: the same people killing the monitors want to mine the deep sea for minerals. So they are destroying the only tools that could measure what that mining does. That is not an accident.

That is the point. You cannot see the damage if you break the instruments first.

I appreciate Dr. Gupta’s restraint here. If you’ve had a loved one die with dementia, you know — the waking hours become fewer and fewer. In the final stage the sleep is uninterrupted and the basic autonomic functions like breathing and the heart beating dwindle until they cease

Dr. Vin Gupta: We need to understand why Trump is so sleepy for multiple periods throughout the daytime hours. That’s not normal.

They like to wave it away by saying that he’s the chief executive of the country and therefore that explains it. I’m not so sure it does. His working hours are pretty limited, based on the White House schedule that’s been reported. He is falling asleep in front of the camera repeatedly.

And I worry: Does he have a sleep disorder? Does he have sleep apnea? He’s clearly overweight….

On March 1, 1945, a deathly ill FDR delivered his final address to Congress. It was the only time he gave a major presidential speech while seated. https://t.co/BVsneo5LMm

Trump has just destroyed the US beef industry. No country in their right mind is going to import US beef.

After Trump cut funding for Screwworm monitoring programs, the dangerous flesh-eating parasite has been found in US cattle for the first time since 1966.

The inability to “find” a word is one of Trump‘s many symptoms of Frontotemporal dementia.

All of his mini strokes seem to affect his right side. Why the facial droop, why the weakened right arm, why the leaning, why the right sided leg brace first .. his next one he may not recover from .. even with all the experimental meds they’re plugging him with.

[TheSteadyState @steadystate2025]

Rubio testified that he has “never seen” Trump fall asleep in a meeting. Then Rep. Ted Lieu showed him the videos. Yesterday was yet another example where Trump dozed off yet again during an Oval Office press event. This is a national embarrassment, and our adversaries see it plainly.

Thirty senior American psychiatrists and mental health experts have signed a statement declaring President Donald Trump mentally unfit to serve, warning that his sole authority over U.S. nuclear weapons poses a danger to the entire world.

According to the doctors, Trump’s behavior over the past year has shown “objectively observable signs of serious medical concern.”

They cited:
— a significant decline in cognitive functioning,
— episodes of apparent drowsiness during critical public appearances,
— severely impaired judgment and impulse control,
— loss of self-control,
— and grandiose or delusional beliefs, including claims of infallibility and imagery portraying himself as a figure with a “divine mission.”

The physicians argue that Trump now represents a “clear and present danger” and called for urgent action to remove him from office.

“It is our expert opinion that Donald J. Trump is mentally unfit to be president of the United States,” the statement reads.

The letter invokes the 25th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which allows the vice president and cabinet to declare a president incapable of performing the duties of office.

One of the signatories, Dr. Henry David Abraham of Tufts University School of Medicine, warned about “the buildup of psychiatric symptoms in a person who has sole authority to launch nuclear weapons.”

He pointed to Trump’s April 7, 2026 Truth Social post regarding Iran, in which Trump wrote:
“A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again.”

According to the doctors, the warning signs include:
— grandiosity without restraint,
— paranoia,
— impulsivity,
— vindictiveness,
— uncontrolled rage,
— and a sense of omnipotence in a man with unchecked control over nuclear weapons.

Psychiatrist Bandy Lee, another signatory, said the issue now “transcends politics and concerns the survival of humanity itself.”

The statement was submitted to the U.S. Congressional Record by Democratic Senators Sheldon Whitehouse and Jack Reed.

The doctors emphasized that their declaration is “medical, not political,” and includes professionals with both conservative and liberal views.

Trump is not technically falling asleep. It’s more like a temporary loss of consciousness- common in dementia patients. His brain is shutting down. These are the type of symptoms that will lead him from his current White House assisted living facility to an eventual nursing home.

Trump wants to give $1.776B we paid in taxes to these people: “At least 97 of the more than 1,500 individuals granted clemency by President Trump for their roles in the January 6 Capitol attack have been arrested for, charged with, or convicted of crimes separate from Jan. 6 since their participation in the Jan. 6 riot.” https://t.co/L7GMWpaoNA

Turns out we may already have an anti-aging vaccine.

Created originally to prevent shingles, it appears to influence aging and cognitive decline - far beyond anything it was designed to do.

The beauty of science.

Not only is this not the flex they think it is, but imagine the staff hours to actually make such an absurd chart. We are being governed by idiots.

This is how fast things collapse when you feed massive parts of our government “into the wood chipper.” Trump and the Republican Doormat Congress have destroyed some of the most important pieces of our nations defense against disease, crime, and much more. We must take back our government this fall.
